The Seattle Mist reportedly will play a women’s Lingerie Football League exhibition game against the B.C. Angels on Dec. 15 at the ShoWare Center in Kent.
The Facebook page of the Seattle Mist run by Natalie Kay Sutey posted a notice Thursday that a game would be played at the ShoWare Center with tickets going on sale soon.
Tim Higgins, ShoWare Center general manager said Thursday that the deal is not completely done, but they are close to getting it done. He expects to know more in the next few days.
After three years of play, the LFL in April canceled the 2012 season as officials decided to switch the league’s season to the spring and summer rather than the fall-winter schedule used since the league started in 2009. Kent has had a team for three years.
The 12-team league features scantily clad women playing seven-on-seven tackle football on a 50-yard field. They play 17-minute halves. Each offense features a quarterback, center, two running backs and three receivers.
The players wear helmets with clear face shields, shoulder pads, sports bras, panties, elbow and knee pads.
Players are not paid and attend tryouts to make the team rosters.
